Applause

Congratulations to MCC Nursing Instructor Jane Brand. She is MCCer of the Month for April.

See next week’s edition of Monday Morning for details.

Musical set for Friday

Sarah, Plain and Tall the next Arts & Letters Series production, will be performed in the McCain Theater Friday, April 16, at 7 p.m.

TheatreworksUSA presents this touching family musical based on Patrica MacLachlan’s Newbery Award-winning book.

In a little house nestled within the vast plains of the prairie, Anna and Caleb try to help their papa create a home. Their Mama is gone, and Papa doesn’t sing anymore. Papa decides to place an ad in the paper asking for a wife and mother. Sarah, who is plain and tall, soon arrives from the coast of Maine bringing along her own peculiar ways: she prefers overalls to frilly dresses and feels much more at home fixing a roof than cooking a meal. Anna and Caleb miss their own ladylike mama and Sarah misses the green, gray and blue of her beloved sea.

To make Anna, Caleb and Papa happy, Sarah tries to be a typical well-mannered Kansas housewife, but soon finds that she can’t pretend to be something she is not. Sarah rides Papa’s wild horses away from their little home. Will she return to the family she has grown to love?

This production is suitable for audiences of all ages. General admission tickets are
$5, adults; $3, children.

For more ticket information, contact Michele Thames at extension 696 or email her at mthames@mcc.cc.ms.us
